Films can have effect on the children’s education and teach them many things. Do you think it is always a positive influence? Discuss.
[shc_shortcode class=”shc_mybox”]It is irrefutable that movies can be very educative for children. However, the effect of
movies is not always beneficial. In the following paragraphs, I intend to discuss the positive
and negative effects of movies on children.
On the positive side, movies are enjoyable for children of all ages. They stimulate children’s
emotions, imaginations and conversations. Movies also introduce children to cultures and
historical events. Movies used in the classroom enhance learning. Therefore, if the movies
are good they can have a very positive influence on a child’s growth.
On the downside, children are negatively affected by movies with sex, violence drug abuse
and offensive language. Older children and adolescents may copy the risky things they see in
movies. What is more, movies glamorize things like smoking and drinking and children are
quick to pick up these traits.
Furthermore, watching too many movies can impede the development of healthy habits like
playing outdoor games, reading and spending quality time with family. Children who are
avid film viewers are more likely to suffer from obesity related problems throughout their
lives.
I believe that as everything has its pros and cons, movies too can have both – good and bad
influences. It is very important for parents to check the movie ratings before allowing their
children to watch any movies. The best thing for parents could be to watch movies with
their children. Watching movies together could be a very rewarding experience.
To put it in a nutshell, I pen down saying that movies can have a positive or a negative
influence on children but if parents take steps in choosing their children’s movies, then the
effect can be largely positive.
